nope ...you are doing well then IMO...you just need to tweak the small mistakes to get to 1st.. but IMO late in a tourney when the chip counts are high there is no real bullying of people with raises its all about the cards and when to take your ALL IN shot and when to know to fold...
you have to have a feeling to of the other players....I was dealt Pocket 88 at the bash tourney when the there was 10 people left ...The flop was 6 5 J The other guy in the hand with me bet 5000 ..I had 15000 left...I called the next card I think was a 2 ....He just bet 5000 again....I was just about to much my cards when I thought ....I said I have second pair and thought he has NO jack...I went all in he called river was 10 ... he had a A Q I took him out
